Hello all, I just recently installed a slackware 10 box. The setup is definitely a bit different from suse and redhat/fedora. I have managed to get both my cpqarray controller and aic7xxx modules to load at boot and everything is running fine, except the kernel only sees 1 cpu. It appears that I need to rebuild the kernel to add smp support. I have never touched the kernel so I am a bit out of my comfort zone on this. I have googled and got some good basic pointers but I still have some questions. It sounds like by editing the options in menuconfig I will be able to activate the required raid, scsi and smp options. If I copy the current kernel.config over to the new kernel directory it sounds like menuconfig will use that as the base choices and then I can add the other required modules - is that correct? Also, does this method add the modules statically compiled into the kernel? I assume with smp it needs to be statically compiled as does the cpqarray raid controller since that is what the os boots from - correct? Currently the aic7xxx is just loaded as a kernel module because it only controls the CD and tape drive. Any other tips/land mines I should research before diving in? Thanks. regards, rotbau _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
